NNSA delegations are shown in iPortal (IDW) Access Page: https://iportal.doe.gov. 2. CANCELLATION. NA-1 SD 411.1-1C, NNSA Safety Management Functions, Responsibilities, and Authorities Manual (FRAM), dated 02-15-08. 3. APPLICABILITY. This SD identifies safety management functions, responsibilities, and authorities that have been assigned by the Secretary of Energy and the NNSA Administrator. For projects subject to external regulations, those regulations take precedence. For example, 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, applies to Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)-licensed facilities, while 10 CFR 830 Subpart A, Quality Assurance Requirements, applies to nuclear and radiological facilities that are not licensed by NRC. a. NNSA Applicability. The provisions of this SD apply to all NNSA Federal organizations. b. Equivalency. In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned by Executive Order 12344, codified at 50 USC sections 2406 and 2511 and to ensure consistency throughout the joint Navy/DOE Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors (Director) will implement and oversee requirements and practices pertaining to this directive for activities under the Director's cognizance, as deemed appropriate. 4. BACKGROUND. This SD contains a description of NNSA Senior Management, Headquarters and Field Office Manager functions, responsibilities, and authorities related to Safety Management. The appendices contain references, acronyms, and a description of safety regulations of NNSA. The description of safety and security regulation of NNSA includes lists of nuclear safety, security, and worker safety and health regulatory functions. A regulatory framework is also provided as a reference explaining the execution of regulatory responsibilities. https://iportal.doe.gov/ 2 NNSA SD 450.2 6-20-13

Line managers bear full responsibility for achieving assigned program objectives in a manner that is safe and legally, ethically, and fiscally responsible. Primary authority rests with the lowest line manager responsible for directing all of the resources needed to meet a specific requirement or objective. In most cases, this is an NNSA Field Office Manager (FOM), but, consistent with the tiered risk decision-making authority, it may be an HQ line manager. Responsibility is retained by the delegator, and authority may be delegated to the extent feasible, based upon the delegator’s discretion that the receiver has the capability to accomplish the task. Specific directives may limit the extent of re- delegation. Overall safety of NNSA sites and activities is ensured through site stewardship of nuclear safety and environment, safety, and health (ES&H). The Administrator has delegated most of the line management accountability for ES&H to the field and program offices but retains responsibility and provides NNSA internal independent oversight. However, in the case of nuclear safety, the Administrator has retained the line management responsibility for establishing policy and requirements at the HQ level and has delegated the responsibility for implementing standards to the field and programmatic level. Each organization within NNSA that is specifically addressed in this SD is responsible for establishing and documenting how the specific functions and authorities assigned in this SD are properly implemented. Safety and Security Regulation of the DOE/NNSA is discussed in Appendix 4. Each Field Office must prepare and maintain assigned FRA documents to further define and assign its safety management functions as necessary. 5. CHANGE CONTROL. When organizations reorganize or responsibilities change that effect this SD, the Office of Safety and Health (NA-SH) must be notified by the effected organization. The effected organization must work with the Office of Policy and Analysis (NA-MB-22) and NA-SH to prepare the required page change documents to update this SD, in accordance with the most recent version of NNSA SD 251.1. NA-SH will conduct periodic reviews based on DOE and NNSA policy. 6. REQUIREMENTS. This SD lists NNSA requirements regarding organizational accountability for Safety Management derived from DOE/NNSA directives or supplemental directives (Appendix 2) and other assignments and delegations made by the Administrator. Specific references to such directives found in this SD are to be read as being to the most current (cited), or successor, version applicable to NNSA activities. NNSA managers assigned Safety Management functions, responsibilities, or authorities in this SD must develop implementing processes or procedures for their assigned Safety Management functions. It is recommended that organizations with multi-program secretarial missions establish Memoranda of Agreement (MOA) with delegation listings discussed earlier. 7. RESPONSIBILITIES. a. NNSA Line Management (Mission). DOE line management (Mission) refers to the unbroken chain of responsibility that extends from the Secretary of Energy to NNSA SD 450.2 3 6-20-13

the Deputy Secretary, to the secretarial officers (NNSA Administrator) to the program and field element managers who are responsible for mission and program execution (DOE O 226.1B). NNSA HQ line interface with the field is through NA-00 to the FOMs. This interface takes place for program implementation matters, including nuclear safety and ES&H, through the appropriate Deputy or Associate Administrator. Mission Support leadership sets program policy in coordination with program management. Federal oversight of the contractor will be accomplished as close to the work as practical and as required by the most recent version of DOE O 226.1B, Implementation of Department of Energy Oversight Policy, and with the responsibilities indicated in this SD. Safety management responsibility for work done by DOE and other non-NNSA tenant activities remains with NNSA line management (a landlord function) and should be communicated by NNSA to non-NNSA tenants. All work done at a site must be performed within the envelope approved by the FOM as delegated/further delegated. Formal “Stop Work” authority normally resides with the FOM and contracting officer (CO), but all NNSA personnel are expected to stop unsafe or unsecure activities. For projects executed through non-M&O contracts, the Federal Project Director must obtain a delegation letter from the FOM. NNSA HQ develops policy with input from the field and provides guidance to the field for NNSA programs. NNSA HQ ensures that strategies, plans, and operations for implementing its programs are coordinated, integrated, and consistent with the NNSA Strategic Plan, policies, and priorities. NNSA HQ and Field Offices ensure adequate numbers of employees with an appropriate skill mix are available and qualified to perform their assigned safety management functions, including oversight and periodic self-assessments of line oversight responsibilities. b. Administrator/Principal Deputy Administrator. The Office of the Administrator has authority over, and is responsible for, all programs and activities within the NNSA (except for the functions of the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors under Executive Order 12344).

NNSA SD 450.2 Appendix 4 6-20-13 1 APPENDIX 4: Safety and Security Regulation of the Department of Energy / National Nuclear Security Administration Overview. This document describes the Federal framework for regulating safety and security of activities and operations conducted under the authority of the Administrator, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), excluding those activities and operations associated with the Naval Nuclear Propulsion program or that are regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. For this discussion, safety includes nuclear safety and worker safety, while security includes physical and cyber security. This document identifies the NNSA safety and security regulators; the regulated entities; the applicable regulatory framework of regulations and directives; and the regulatory functions and assignees/designees who exercise those functions, including independent oversight and enforcement responsibilities. This discussion draws a distinction between those safety and security activities that are owner functions and those that are regulatory functions. Background and Key Assumptions. In its broadest sense, “regulate” simply means to control or govern. Its legitimacy is based on some form of legal authority such as a law or contract. Regulators are the individuals charged with the responsibility and who have the legal authority to regulate. Regulators could be independent of the regulated activity or they could be the owner of that activity (self-regulation). Regulatory responsibilities can exist at multiple levels inside and outside of an organization. Requirements are the tools regulators use to establish criteria that must be met by regulated entities. Regulators may rely on requirements created by others, may generate requirements themselves, or may use a combination of approaches. Requirements may be in the form of rules1, regulations2, directives3, or administrative orders. Such requirements may carry the force of Federal law (such as rules or regulations), may be contained in legally enforceable contracts, or be issued through an administrative process4. Discussions of regulation involving NNSA usually are much narrower than described above, and are focused on creation, oversight and enforcement of requirements for NNSA activities that, if conducted by U.S. commercial industry, would fall under regulation of a governmental or similar external organization such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or the National Industrial Security Program.5 This paper describes regulation of safety and security solely in that narrower context. 1 Rules are published in the Federal Register and ultimately codified as a regulation in the Code of Federal Regulations. 2 Id. 3 DOE Orders are published and processed per the DOE Directives System. 4 The Price-Anderson Amendments Act of 1988 (PAAA) grants authority to the Secretary to issue Compliance Orders to prevent, rectify or penalize violations of nuclear safety requirements. 5 U.S. industry develops and produces the majority of our nation's defense technology – much of which is classified – and thus plays a significant role in creating and protecting the information that is vital to our nation's security. The National Industrial Security Program (NISP) was established by Executive Order 12829 to ensure that cleared U.S. defense industry safeguards the classified information in their possession while performing work on contracts, programs, bids, or research and development efforts.

Appendix 4 NNSA SD 450.2 2 6-20-13 In that context, not all actions taken to control or govern the safety and security of operations are regulatory functions. For example, in the nuclear industry, operators and owners exercise controls to ensure safe and compliant nuclear operations because doing so protects their business interests. For the purposes of identifying the self-regulatory functions that NNSA executes, owner or operator functions (including some management and independent assessments) that are taken primarily to protect the interests and advance the mission of the owner and operator, and that are not performed as a result of regulatory drivers, have been designated as owner/operator functions, and not regulatory in nature. The Regulator. There are two Department of Energy (DOE) officials with statutory responsibilities for safety and security within NNSA: the Secretary of Energy, and the NNSA Administrator6. They ultimately are the regulators of NNSA. These officials have the authority to 6 DOE’s authority to self-regulate the radiological and non-radiological occupational safety and health of DOE contractors working in DOE owned or leased facilities is derived from, among other statutory authority, Section 161 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Section 4(b)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act), 29 U.S.C. § 653, exempts working conditions of certain nonfederal employees from provisions of the OSH Act to the extent federal agencies such as DOE “exercises statutory authority to prescribe or enforce standards or regulations affecting occupational safety and health.” The National Nuclear Security Administration Act, (NNSA Act) as amended, Section 3211 assigns the Administrator the responsibility to “ensure that all operations and activities of the Administration are consistent with the principles of protecting the environment and safeguarding the safety and health of the public and of the workforce of the Administration.” Section 3202 of the NNSA Act states: “In carrying out the functions of the Administrator, the Administrator shall be subject to the authority, direction, and control of the Secretary. Such authority, direction, and control may be delegated only to the Deputy Secretary of Energy, without redelegation.” Section 3203 of the NNSA Act states: “The Secretary shall be responsible for establishing policy for the National Nuclear Security Administration,” and “the Secretary may direct officials of the Department who are not within the National Nuclear Security Administration to review the programs and activities of the Administration and to make recommendations to the Secretary regarding administration of those programs and activities, including consistency with other similar programs and activities of the Department.” Section 3212 states: “The Administrator may establish Administration- specific policies, unless disapproved by the Secretary of Energy.” Section 3261 of the NNSA Act states in its entirety: (a) COMPLIANCE REQUIRED.—The Administrator shall ensure that the Administration complies with all applicable environmental, safety, and health statutes and substantive requirements. (b) PROCEDURES REQUIRED.—The Administrator shall develop procedures for meeting such requirements. (c) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this title shall diminish the authority of the Secretary of Energy to ascertain and ensure that such compliance occurs. From Section 3232,

(d) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is within the Administration an Office of Defense Nuclear Security, headed by a Chief appointed by the Secretary of Energy. The Administrator shall recommend to the Secretary suitable candidates for such position. (b) CHIEF OF DEFENSE NUCLEAR SECURITY.— (1) The head of the Office of Defense Nuclear Security is the Chief of Defense Nuclear Security, who shall report to the Administrator and shall implement the security policies directed by the Secretary and Administrator. (2) The Chief shall have direct access to the Secretary and all other officials of the Department and the contractors of the Department concerning security matters. (3) The Chief shall be responsible for the development and implementation of security programs for the Administration, including the protection, control and accounting of materials, and for the physical and cyber security for all facilities of the Administration. NNSA SD 450.2 Appendix 4 6-20-13 3 delegate regulatory functions, although certain functions have limits (either by statute or by conditions of delegation) on further delegation. The Chief of Defense Nuclear Security also has statutory responsibilities. See the footnotes for citations regarding regulatory authority. Regulated Entities. The regulated entities are the managers and operators of NNSA facilities throughout the lifecycle of those facilities, including design and construction, operations, decontamination and decommissioning. This includes authority over all prime contracts performing DOE work at a DOE-owned or leased site. In most situations, the regulated entities are the Management and Operating contractors. For situations where NNSA is the operator, the NNSA organization directly operating the facility and making management decisions is the regulated entity. Applicable Regulatory Requirements (Regulations). Attachment 1 provides a listing of those current regulations (including Code of Federal Regulation (CFR)) and requirements invoked through Departmental directives that, together with supporting standards and guides, provide the nuclear safety requirements framework that NNSA regulators use to ensure adequate nuclear safety. Attachments 2 and 3 provide similar listings for worker safety and security. Regulatory Functions and Assignee/Designee Exercising Those Functions. Tables 1, 2, and 3 summarize the regulatory functions within the scope of this paper and identify those NNSA elements responsible for executing each listed function. All NNSA Federal functions related to nuclear safety, worker safety, and security not listed in the tables are considered owner or operator functions. Table 1 provides the associated nuclear safety functions and assignee/designees. Because of its length, Table 1 is divided into three sections of related regulatory functions. Tables 2 and 3 provide regulatory functions and assignees/designees for worker safety and for security. Each table includes, as applicable, comments on the implementation and basis for the regulatory functions. Regulatory Independence. When an organization such as the DOE is self-regulated, the degree to which owner and regulatory functions can be exercised independently is more limited than when the regulator is an external entity, and appropriate regulatory independence must be carefully preserved.

Generally, individuals exercising the regulatory functions listed in the tables should not judge the adequacy of activities or products they directly or substantively established. When individuals such as a Field office Managers must exercise a regulatory function over an activity in which they or their employees participated, it is crucial to regulatory credibility to use an open and transparent decision-making process that relies on recommendations from competent reviewers who were not directly or substantively involved in establishing the regulated activities. Maintaining suitable regulatory independence is essential to the effective implementation of Although the focus of this paper is safety and security, it should be noted that some other areas (such as environmental compliance) are not entirely self-regulated and in some cases are externally regulated. Appendix 4 NNSA SD 450.2 4 6-20-13 NNSA governance enhancements—that is, those NNSA efforts focused on improving our system of management and controls exercised in the stewardship of the organization. Enhancements to NNSA governance are implemented through a collaborative but limited partnership between organizations to accomplish a common mission. Appropriate limitations on that partnership must be carefully preserved to maintain the independence of regulatory and owner/operator functions needed to effectively execute NNSA’s self-regulatory role. Role of the Office of Health, Safety and Security (HSS). HSS provides several supporting functions in the areas of rule-making, directives, inspection, and enforcement. The results of these functions are used by the regulating entities in executing their regulatory responsibilities. Rule-making and Directives. HSS has primary responsibility for rule-making, and for developing and maintaining directives in the areas of nuclear safety, worker safety and health, and security (the NNSA Act also gives the Administrator authority to develop NNSA policies; this authority has been used for some safety and security requirements). HSS is currently engaged in a major revamping of the DOE Directives aimed at making them more streamlined and less duplicative of other directives, laws and consensus standards. Proposed changes in 10 CFR 850, Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention Program are being considered; 10 CFR 1046, Physical Protection of Security Interests and 10 CFR 712, Human Reliability Program are under revision. NNSA participates in rule-making and directives revision through review and concurrence, and in some cases by direct participation on the development and revision teams. Inspection. The HSS Office of Independent Oversight conducts appraisals to evaluate the effectiveness of DOE and contractor line management in implementing and overseeing safety and security programs to determine the adequacy of DOE policies and requirements and their implementation. These appraisals are focused on high consequence activities such as high hazard nuclear operations and the protection of high value security assets. For other activities, the HSS Office of Independent Oversight focuses on organizations with poor safety or security performance records and/or serious or recurring incidents or violations of requirements. External assessments by the Office of Inspector General, the Government Accountability Office or the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board may trigger for cause inspections by either HSS or NNSA staff which could lead to regulatory actions or fee reductions.

Enforcement. The Office of Health, Safety and Security Office of Enforcement (OE) administers the enforcement process for the nuclear safety, worker health and safety, and security rules (10 CFR Part 820, 10 CFR Part 830, 10 CFR Part 835, 10 CFR Part 850, 10 CFR Part 851, 10 CFR Part 708, and 10 CFR Part 824). Based on the NNSA Act, the NNSA Administrator is assigned the authority upon which regulatory direction and enforcement is provided to NNSA contractors. The enforcement process relies heavily on self-disclosure, either through the Noncompliance Tracking System (NTS), the Occurrence Reporting and Processing System (ORPS), or the Safeguards and Security Information Management System (SSIMS) Security Incident Module. Field offices ensure that a valid self-disclosure process does exist by direct verification of reporting effectiveness. The NTS allows the contractor to report potential noncompliances, and mitigation for self-reporting may be granted in ensuing enforcement activities. The incidents meeting pre-established reporting criteria are reported in either ORPS or SSIMS. Upon analysis, some incidents will be identified as the result of noncompliance with nuclear safety rules, worker safety and health rules, or classified information security requirements. These events are typically considered self-disclosing and do not qualify for mitigation in accordance with the factors NNSA SD 450.2 Appendix 4 6-20-13 5 discussed within the policy statement of each enforcement program regulation (i.e., 10 CFR 820, 10 CFR 824, and 10 CFR 851). The Office of Enforcement investigates instances of noncompliance and in consultation with responsible line management either recommends or undertakes an enforcement proceeding. The NNSA Act assigns responsibility for direction to NNSA contractors to the Administrator. The enforcement sections of the nuclear safety, worker health and safety, and security rules recognize this authority and authorize the Administrator to issue various enforcement instruments which are directive, such as Notices of Violation. Enforcement mechanisms which are cautionary or advisory (e.g. enforcement letters) are issued by the Director of the Office of Enforcement. Currently, there is some difference of opinion regarding the directive nature of Consent Orders (10CFR820) and Settlement Agreements (10CFR824); current practice is for both the Administrator and the Director to sign Consent Orders and Settlement Agreements. The worker safety and health enforcement program rule (10 CFR 851) also provides that noncompliance incidents are subject to either fines or fee reductions but not both. The Office of Enforcement conducts regulatory assistance reviews on an invitational basis. NNSA participates in consultation with the Director of the Office of Enforcement to provide recommendations to the Administrator. THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK NNSA SD 450.2 Table 1 6-20-13 1 Table 1. Listing of NNSA Nuclear Safety Regulatory Functions Regulatory Function Assignee/Designee References and Comments §1. Requirements Creation and Maintenance Create, revise, and maintain nuclear safety requirements that are applicable to the Department, including NNSA.

This regulatory responsibility is executed by the Secretary of Energy and Deputy Secretary (NNSA Act, see footnote 6, and DOE Safety Management Functions, Responsibilities and Authorities (FRA) Document). For directives, DOE and NNSA personnel and contractors participate in the development, but regulatory approval is by the Secretary or Deputy Secretary upon recommendation of the DOE Directives Review Board. DOE rules are developed and approved in accordance with the appropriate rulemaking requirements. Develop NNSA-specific procedures to comply with all applicable nuclear safety statutes and substantive requirements. This regulatory responsibility is executed by the Administrator (NNSA Act, see footnote 6) or Principal Deputy Administrator for procedures that apply NNSA-wide. NNSA personnel and contractors participate in the development, but regulatory approval is by the Administrator or Principal Deputy Administrator. Establish NNSA-specific nuclear safety requirements, unless disapproved by the Secretary of Energy. NNSA personnel and contractors participate in the development, but this regulatory responsibility is executed by the Administrator (NNSA Act, see footnote 6) or Principal Deputy Administrator. Provide expectations and guidance for implementing nuclear safety requirements for use by NNSA employees and contractors. A directed revision to the DOE FRA Document assigned this regulatory responsibility to the NNSA Central Technical Authority (CTA). The CTA is the single NNSA source for authoritative nuclear safety expectations for use NNSA-wide. Note that 10 CFR 820 Subpart D assigns the DOE General Counsel exclusive authority to issue interpretations to DOE Nuclear Safety Requirements as defined relative to the Price Anderson Amendment Act (PAAA). 10 CFR 820 defines an interpretation as “a statement by the General Counsel concerning the meaning or effect of the Act, a Nuclear Statute, or a DOE Nuclear Safety Requirement which Table 1 NNSA SD 450.2 2 6-20-13 relates to a specific factual situation but may also be a ruling of general applicability where the General Counsel determines such action to be appropriate.” Incorporate expectations and guidance for implementing nuclear safety requirements in M&O and affected non-M&O contracts. Contracting officers for M&O contracts and affected non-M&O contracts execute this regulatory function by ensuring that required DOE orders and DEAR provisions are incorporated into said contracts and NNSA solicitations. §2. Independent Oversight Independent Oversight of Management and Operator Compliance with Nuclear Safety Requirements. Within NNSA, the program authority line for production (such as specific weapons or special products) is somewhat separate from the line of responsibility for safe nuclear facility management and operations. There is some overlap at the Field Office Manager and secretarial officer levels. Field office managers bear the primary regulatory responsibility for conducting independent nuclear safety oversight at their respective sites and are accountable to the Administrator and the Deputy Associate Administrator for Infrastructure and Operations. Field office independent oversight is independent in the sense that the oversight is conducted by personnel who do not have direct responsibilities for meeting production or mission goals. The regulatory oversight function is executed for the Field Office Manager by facility representatives, safety system oversight personnel, and subject matter experts, using routine presence in their nuclear facilities as well as systematic, scheduled assessments to ensure that nuclear safety requirements are met.

Reviews by independent subject matter experts include those conducted by experts outside the Field Office (internal and external to NNSA) whose results are provided for disposition to the Field Office Manager. These include reviews conducted by the independent oversight elements of the DOE Health, Safety and Security (HSS) organization and NNSA Headquarters organizations. Field office NNSA SD 450.2 Table 1 6-20-13 3 managers maintain an integrated assessment schedule to enable a systematic approach to oversight of their nuclear facility contractors. Non-compliances that have PAAA implications are addressed by an HSS element that provides enforcement services to the Department. HSS provides a supporting role to the regulator by evaluating issues and making recommendations on enforcement proceedings. The results of HSS enforcement evaluations are provided to the NNSA Administrator, who exercises Price Anderson regulatory enforcement authority for NNSA. NNSA has seven sites that operate nuclear facilities. To ensure consistent nuclear safety performance between the Field Offices, NNSA Headquarters conducts Biennial Reviews of each of these Field Offices. Although contractor performance may be sampled to assess Field Office performance, these Biennial Reviews are internal self-assessments of the Regulator and serve a quality control function. They are not regulatory assessments of the regulated entity. The Administrator is responsible to the Secretary for the nuclear safety of NNSA operations. The Secretary uses HSS reviews as a source of independent information on the nuclear safety performance of the Administrator. Thus, HSS reviews serve two slightly different but overlapping roles. HSS provides, through its nuclear safety office, a service to NNSA regulatory personnel by providing subject matter experts to assist/augment NNSA regulatory oversight for use by NNSA. HSS also serves as a direct source of independent oversight information to the Secretary to provide assurance that NNSA is effectively executing its delegated and assigned regulatory responsibilities. In addition to independent oversight within the Department, Congress has established the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board Table 1 NNSA SD 450.2 4 6-20-13 (DNFSB) with statutory responsibilities that enhance and contribute to the independent oversight of NNSA. The DNFSB statute includes action-forcing provisions by which the DNFSB can raise issues, make recommendations, and require responses from the NNSA in a public forum regarding nuclear safety issues. The DNFSB has site representatives at most NNSA sites and also conducts site visits and reviews with a sizable cadre of highly qualified technical staff members with broad technical expertise. Although the DNFSB is not a regulator, DNFSB reviews have identified weaknesses and opportunities for improvement in NNSA programs and activities and help drive continuous improvement in the safety of NNSA nuclear operations and activities. §3. Design, Construction, Operation, Decontamination, and Decommissioning Approve Design Criteria for Nuclear Facilities 10 CFR 830 requires preliminary documented safety analyses (PDSA) to include the nuclear safety design criteria to be used for construction of nuclear facilities, and requires DOE approval of the PDSA. 10 CFR 830 separately requires DOE approval of the design criteria to be used for the PDSA if the criteria are not those in DOE O 420.1C, Facility Safety. The NNSA FRA Document assigns this regulatory responsibility to the Field Office managers in coordination with the NNSA CTA.

Approve Safety Basis Documents and Hazard Categorization The Safety Basis Approval Authority is a delegated function. 10 CFR 830 requires DOE approval of safety basis documents, hazard categorization for Hazard Category (HC) 1, 2, or 3 nuclear facilities, and the contractor’s Unreviewed Safety Question process. The DOE FRA Document assigns this regulatory function to the Cognizant Secretarial Officer (CSO). In NNSA, this is the Deputy Associate Administrator for Infrastructure and Operations, who may delegate this regulatory function to qualified Field Office Managers per the approved NNSA delegation procedure. NNSA SD 450.2 Table 1 6-20-13 5 Note that the Nuclear Explosive Safety process also evaluates certain high consequence safety aspects of nuclear explosive operations (separately from the safety basis analysis) and includes operations authorization provisions. These activities are executed by the program owner and are owner functions, not regulatory functions. Provide Independent Review of Safety Basis documents (including Unreviewed Safety Question procedures) The Safety Basis Review Team (SBRT) reviews safety basis documents and the team leader makes recommendations to the regulatory approval authority regarding the acceptability of safety basis documents. This is a regulatory review. The nuclear safety experts on Federal Integrated Project Teams (IPTs), in most cases, interact too closely with the contractor during the development of safety basis documents to serve as the Safety Basis Review Team leader for their own projects. Approve methodologies not listed in Appendix A of 10 CFR 830 for developing a Documented Safety Analysis The DOE FRA Document assigns this regulatory responsibility to the Cognizant Secretarial Officer as an authority that may be delegated. The responsibility is not usually delegated within NNSA, and DOE O 410.1 requires CTA concurrence on approval of alternate methodologies. In NNSA, the approval responsibility is assigned to the Deputy Associate Administrator for Infrastructure and Operations. Approve Startup or Restart of Nuclear Facilities, Associated Startup Notification Reports, and Plans of Action. The Secretary of Energy is the ultimate regulatory startup or restart authority for the Department’s nuclear facilities but has delegated that authority as described in DOE Order 425.1D Chg 1 and its supporting standard. Further delegation is accomplished in accordance with the NNSA delegation procedure. The regulatory approval authority and independent review requirements for startup or restart are established using a graded approach. Facilities categorized as less than HC 3 have no specific regulatory oversight requirements. Specific requirements exist for facilities categorized as HC 1, HC 2, or HC 3, as discussed in DOE O 425.1D Chg 1. Table 1 NNSA SD 450.2 6 6-20-13 For startups or restarts that require a Federal authorization authority and a Federal readiness review, the authorization authority function is considered a regulatory function, and the independent Federal readiness review is an independent regulatory oversight function that supports the operations authorization. Approve Quality Assurance Plans including Weapons Quality Assurance Plans.

10 CFR 830 establishes a regulatory requirement for contractors operating nuclear facilities to develop a Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) and to submit it to DOE for approval. This is a CSO function that the NNSA FRA Document indicates secretarial officers delegate to the Field Office Managers. Review and approval of the contractor QAP and weapons QAP is a regulatory function. Approval of QAPs required by 10 CFR 71 for Type AF and Type B radioactive material packages is a regulatory function. Approve Exemptions (or Equivalencies) to Nuclear Safety Requirements 10 CFR 820 includes a specific and broad definition of DOE nuclear safety requirements that includes nuclear safety rules, regulations, and orders and also any programs, plans, or other provisions intended to implement these rules, regulations, and orders. 10 CFR 820 establishes the regulatory approval authority for exemptions to DOE nuclear safety requirements as the secretarial officer and stipulates that the authority cannot be further delegated. This authority for NNSA resides with the CSO who is the Deputy Associate Administrator for Infrastructure and Operations. This exemption approval authority is applied to provide relief from requirements that are established in the CFR (such as 10 CFR 830) and that do not provide an alternative means of obtaining relief as part of the requirement. Approval of exemptions to 10 CFR 830 is a nuclear safety regulatory function. The Departmental directives system includes a number of directives that, in whole or in part, implement 10 CFR 830, or that establish related nuclear safety requirements. The NNSA SD 450.2 Table 1 6-20-13 7 directives system includes two primary mechanisms for obtaining relief from its requirements without requiring an exemption to a DOE nuclear safety requirement as defined in 10 CFR 820. These two mechanisms are a directive exemption and a directive equivalency. Unless a specific directive identifies an approval authority for such relief, the default approval authority for NNSA specified in DOE O 251.1C is the Administrator or designee. The Administrator, in a memorandum approved January 8, 2010, designated the Field Office Managers to act on his behalf to approve exemptions and equivalencies to directives that do not specify an approval authority, subject to certain conditions. Approval of exemptions to the directives in Attachment 1 to this document is a regulatory function. Approval of exemptions to directives identified in Attachment 1 of DOE O 410.1, Central Technical Authority Responsibilities Regarding Nuclear Safety Requirements, require CTA concurrence. This concurrence by the CTA is a quality control (owner) function, not a regulatory function. The CTA is supported by independent evaluations of nuclear safety exemptions by the Chief of Defense Nuclear Safety (CDNS). DOE O 420.1C, Facility Safety, establishes the Field Office Manager as an authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) to approve equivalencies to fire safety codes. These equivalencies are different from the equivalencies defined in the Departmental directives program, but their approval is also a regulatory function. Direct nuclear facility contractors to curtail or suspend operations of nuclear reactors, nuclear facilities, or related activities when continuing operations might result in an undue risk to the environment and/or to the safety and health of Departmental or contractor employees or to the public.

In situations where suspension of work is required by DOE management for safety reasons, and formal direction to an NNSA nuclear facility contractor is necessary, that direction must generally come from the Field Office Manager (through the contracting officer or contracting officer representative, where applicable). Providing stop work Table 1 NNSA SD 450.2 8 6-20-13 direction to the contractor of an NNSA nuclear facility is a regulatory function based upon DEAR 970.5223-1 Integration of Environment, Safety, and Health into Work Planning and Execution, the ISMS clause. This is the type of shutdown that normally invokes DOE O 425.1D Chg 1, Verification of Readiness to Start Up or Restart of Nuclear Facilities, requiring certain readiness reviews following shutdown by a DOE management official for safety reasons. DOE O 440.1B requires all DOE elements to “Implement procedures to allow workers to stop work when they discover employee exposures to imminent danger conditions or other serious hazards.” This general function executed by workers is an owner and operator function, not a regulatory function. Establish the procedures for investigating the nature and extent of violations of the DOE nuclear safety requirements, for determining whether a violation has occurred, for imposing an appropriate remedy, and for adjudicating the assessment of a civil penalty. 10 CFR 820 Procedural Rules For DOE Nuclear Activities provides a framework for administering PAAA enforcement. The HSS Office of Enforcement conducts the investigations and develops enforcement documents. In the HSS process, Field Offices provide significant support to HSS through performing verification and providing evidence based on ongoing operational awareness and additional reviews. The NNSA Office of Safety and Health coordinates the process with HSS for NNSA cases. Directive remedies, such as Notices of Violation, as listed in the rule, must be issued by the NNSA Administrator or, in the case of Compliance Orders, by the Secretary of Energy. Issuing directive remedies is a regulatory function. NNSA SD 450.2 Table 2 6-20-13 1 Table 2. Listing of NNSA Worker Safety Regulatory Functions Regulatory Function Assignee/Designee References and Comments Establish requirements for a worker safety and health program that reduces or prevents occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidental losses by providing DOE contractors and their workers with safe and healthful workplaces at DOE sites. This is the basic function of 10 CFR 851, the Worker Safety and Health Program. Various directives and standards, including a large portion of OSHA regulations, are incorporated by reference. HSS is primarily responsible for maintaining the rule, but line programs, including NNSA, review and concur with changes. There is some overlap with the DEAR clauses for Management and Operations contracts: 970.23 and 907.5223-1, which provide specific requirements for the environment, health, and safety programs, including Integrated Safety Management. Fee reductions for ES&H performance reasons are authorized in the DEAR. Incorporate worker safety and health program requirements in M&O and affected non-M&O contracts. Contracting officers for M&O and affected non-M&O contracts ensure that required DOE orders and DEAR provisions are incorporated into said contracts and NNSA solicitations.

Establish procedures for investigating whether a violation of a requirement of this part has occurred, for determining the nature and extent of any such violation, and for imposing an appropriate remedy. This function is also promulgated through 10 CFR 851. HSS actually performs the investigative functions and develops the enforcement case. Within the NNSA, the Office of Associate Administrator for Safety and Health coordinates in developing and imposing a remedy. Certain directive activities, e.g., notices of violation, must be issued by the Administrator, and these are listed in 10 CFR 851.45. Cautionary actions may be issued by the HSS Director of Enforcement. Compliance orders may only be issued by the Secretary of Energy. Issuing directive actions and compliance orders are regulatory functions. Establish chronic beryllium disease prevention program (CBDPP) that supplements and is deemed an integral part of the Worker Safety and Health program under 10 CFR 851. This function is promulgated under 10 CFR 850. HSS Office of Health maintains the rule, but line programs including NNSA review and concur with changes. The rule provides prescriptive requirements and exposure limits for management of beryllium processes and legacy contamination in DOE facilities. The rule is generally more conservative than similar Table 2 NNSA SD 450.2 2 6-20-13 OSHA requirements. Any enforcement actions are handled under the 10 CFR 851 framework. Approve worker safety and health plans and chronic beryllium disease prevention programs as required by 10 CFR 851 and 850 This function is a regulatory function performed by the Field Office Manager. Establish radiation protection standards, limits, and program requirements for protecting individuals from ionizing radiation resulting from the conduct of DOE activities. This function is promulgated under 10 CFR 835. HSS Office of Health maintains the rule, but line programs including NNSA review and concur in any changes. The rule provides prescriptive requirements and exposure limits for occupational radiation protection in DOE activities. Although the radiation protection requirements of 10 CFR 835 are considered a worker safety regulatory function, any enforcement activities are handled under the 10 CFR 820 nuclear safety enforcement framework. Establish standards and requirements for operations of the DOE and DOE contractors with respect to protection of members of the public and the environment against undue risk from radiation. This requirement is promulgated in DOE O 458.1. Requirements for radiation controls, monitoring, and reporting are included in the order. The Field Office Managers have regulatory oversight of the program. HSS is the office of primary interest for the order. Incorporate standards and requirements with respect to the protection of members of the public and the environment against undue risk from radiation in M&O and affected non- M&O contracts. Contracting officers for M&O and affected non-M&O contracts ensure that required DOE orders and DEAR provisions are incorporated into said contracts and NNSA solicitations. Ensure that all DOE radioactive waste is managed in a manner that is protective of worker and public health and safety, and the environment.

DOE O 435.1 and its associated manual provide detailed requirements for management of radioactive waste. This order applies to the management of: (1) All high-level waste, transuranic waste, and low-level waste, including the radioactive component of mixed waste, for which DOE is responsible; (2) DOE accelerator-produced radioactive waste; and (3) If managed at DOE low-level waste facilities, byproduct materials as defined by section 11e.(2) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or naturally occurring radioactive materials. The order does not apply to spent fuel, to the Naval Reactors Program or when an NRC or Agreement State license is in place in lieu of NNSA SD 450.2 Table 2 6-20-13 3 self-regulation. Field office managers have regulatory oversight of the contractor implementation. Various regulatory planning, reporting, and exemption approval processes are assigned to the program offices, including NNSA. HSS is the office of primary interest for this order. Establishes policies, criteria, and procedures for developing and implementing programs that help to maintain a workplace free from the use of illegal drugs. This function is promulgated under 10 CFR 707 which applies to DOE contractors and subcontractors performing work at sites owned or controlled by DOE and operated under the authority of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and to individuals with unescorted access to the control areas of certain DOE reactors. The procedures include detection of the use of illegal drugs by current or prospective contractor employees in testing designated positions. The local Field Office is responsible for regulatory oversight of the contractor conduct of the program. Incorporate policies, criteria, and procedures for developing and implementing programs that help to maintain a workplace free from the use of illegal drugs in M&O and affected non- M&O contracts. Contracting officers for M&O and affected non-M&O contracts ensure that required DOE orders and DEAR provisions are incorporated into said contracts and NNSA solicitations. Establish requirements and assign responsibilities for the DOE, including the NNSA, activities involving unbound engineered nanoparticles (UNP) activities. Ensure that work involving unbound engineered nanoparticles occurs in a safe and secure manner that protects workers, the public, and the environment. This function is promulgated under DOE O 456.1, which provides detailed requirements for controls, documentation, and training related to research activities on nanoparticles. Regulatory oversight of contractor implementation of requirements is assigned to the Field Office. Ensure timely collection, reporting, analysis, and dissemination of information on environment, safety, and health issues as required by law or regulations or as needed to ensure that the DOE and NNSA are kept fully informed on a timely basis about events that could adversely affect the health and safety of the public or the workers, the environment, the intended purpose of DOE facilities, or the credibility of the Department. DOE O 231.1B and DOE O 232.2 provide reporting requirements for health and safety. The following reports and information are required: • Occupational injury and illness reports (CAIRS) • Fatality and catastrophe reports • Work hours reports (CAIRS) • Occupational radiation exposure data to individuals (and visitors) (REMS) • Annual individual occupational radiation

exposure data to the Radiation Exposure Monitoring System (REMS) Table 2 NNSA SD 450.2 4 6-20-13 • Annual Site Environmental Reports - Information requested by external organizations for epidemiological studies • Annual fire protection summaries • Safety basis information (SBIS) • Occurrence reports (ORPS) • Radioactive sealed sources Each program office, including NNSA, is responsible to ensure reporting occurs; some reporting requirements are at the program office level and some are field level requirements. HSS is the office of primary interest and is responsible for the reporting structure. As the NNSA Certifying Official, approves offsite shipment of Type AF and Type B quantities of materials of national security interest and other radioactive and hazardous materials. The Department of Energy has broad authority under the Atomic Energy Act to regulate activities involving radioactive materials. 49 CFR 173.7(b) grants DOE exceptions to regulatory requirements for shipments of hazardous materials for the purpose of national security and (d) allows DOE to transport radioactive materials packages provided they are evaluated, approved, and certified against packaging standards equivalent to those in 10 CFR 71. DOE Orders (460.1 and 461.1) provide detailed requirements for management of Packaging and Transportation Safety. NNSA SD 450.2 Table 3 6-20-13 1 Table 3. Listing of NNSA Security Regulatory Functions Regulatory Function Assignee/Designee References and Comments Ensure that an effective safeguards and security (S&S) program is established and executed. This regulatory responsibility is executed by the Secretary of Energy within DOE under the authorities granted by relevant executive orders; the U.S. Department of Energy Organization Act, as amended, and the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended;, and in accordance with the National Nuclear Security Administration Act. The responsibility to direct and administer the S&S program may be designated to senior Departmental officials. Management and implementation of S&S programs administered by the NNSA. This regulatory responsibility is executed by the Under Secretary for Nuclear Security/Administrator of the NNSA. Develop and implement security programs, operations, and facilities under the purview of NNSA, including physical security, personnel security, materials control and accountability, classified and sensitive information protection, and technical security. This regulatory responsibility is executed by the Under Secretary for Nuclear Security/Administrator of the NNSA through NA-70. This authority may be delegated to subordinate NNSA line managers, and delegation must be documented in the appropriate safeguards and security management plan. Authorize NNSA Federal and contractor employees to carry firearms and make arrests without warrants as provided by 161k of the Atomic Energy Act. This regulatory responsibility is executed by the Under Secretary for Nuclear Security/Administrator of the NNSA through NA-70. Oversee the security implementation of NNSA SAPs and provide an annual report to Congress. This regulatory responsibility is executed by the Under Secretary for Nuclear Security/Administrator of the NNSA through NA-70. Issue direction for, and oversee implementation of, security conditions for operations under the cognizance of the NNSA.

This regulatory responsibility is executed by the Under Secretary for Nuclear Security/Administrator of the NNSA through NA-70. Establish a system of control measures to ensure that access to classified matter is limited to authorized persons. This regulatory responsibility is executed by the Under Secretary for Nuclear Security/Administrator of the NNSA through NA-70. Establish procedures for reporting incidents of security concern, and provide resources for conducting inquiries and damage assessments and for implementing corrective actions. This regulatory responsibility is executed by the Under Secretary for Nuclear Security/Administrator of the NNSA through NA-70. Table 3 NNSA SD 450.2 2 6-20-13 10 CFR 824 implements subsections a., c., and d. of section 234B of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (the Act), 42 U.S.C. 2282b. Subsection a. provides that any person who has entered into a contract or agreement with the Department of Energy, or a subcontract or sub agreement thereto, and who violates (or whose employee violates) any applicable rule, regulation or order under the Act relating to the security or safeguarding of Restricted Data or other classified information, shall be subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $110,000 for each violation. Subsections c. and d. specify certain additional authorities and limitations respecting the assessment of such penalties. Within NNSA: (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, the NNSA Administrator--rather than the Director--signs, issues, serves, or takes the following regulatory actions that direct NNSA contractors or subcontractors. (1) Subpoenas; (2) Orders to compel attendance; (3) Disclosures of information or documents obtained during an investigation or inspection; (4) Preliminary notices of violation; and (5) Final notices of violations. (b) The Administrator shall act after consideration of the Director's recommendation. If the Administrator disagrees with the Director's recommendation, and the disagreement cannot be resolved by the two officials, the Director may refer the matter to the Deputy Secretary for resolution.
